Chapter 218: The Twelve Vajras of India
In the dead of night, Li Xiang appeared in Assam in eastern India, which was only more than a thousand kilometers away from his home. After crossing Yunnan Province and northern Myanmar, he arrived in Assam, which only took ten to twenty minutes.
This place is famous for its tea and is the largest tea-producing area in India. In addition to tea, it is also rich in forest resources and is one of the main suppliers of timber in India.
With so many forests, there are naturally many wild animals, including elephants, hippos, bison, rhinos, deer, and so on.
There are five states around it, all of which are new states split from the original state of Assam, so they can be collectively referred to as the "Greater Assam region."
Assam is actually another name for the Dai people. In the 13th century, the Dai people established the Ahom Kingdom here. Unfortunately, it was occupied by the British in the First Anglo-Burmese War. Later, when India became independent, it became a state of India.
Li Xiang naturally came here for the large wild animals.
Small animals often have limited potential, and he no longer thinks highly of the low-level spiritual medicines obtained from them. Hunting small animals is just a matter of convenience, and his main focus is on looking for high-level animals with extraordinary potential.
India has always been "infested with ferocious beasts", and there is a saying about the "Twelve King Kongs". It is relatively close to his home, so naturally he will not let them go.
The so-called "Twelve Golden Animals" naturally refer to the twelve powerful wild animals in India, namely: Asian elephant, saltwater crocodile, Indian krait, Indian cobra, Indian red scorpion, round-spotted viper, saw-scaled viper, Bengal tiger, sloth bear, king cobra, leopard, and python.
From this we can see that there are many snakes in India. Among the Twelve Avalokitesvara, snakes or pythons account for a full half.
Indians worship snakes very much and have a so-called "snake dancing" culture, where wandering artists or snake charmers play musical instruments and snakes dance beside them.
India has snake temples, snake villages, snake dances, snake boat races, and a snake festival every year. People believe that snakes are a symbol of vitality, and can help infertile women give birth and help weak children get rid of diseases and strengthen their bodies.
Some infertile couples would bring offerings to the temple and pray to the snake god to give them children.
Li Xiang killed many wild animals along the way and had a good harvest.
It was night when he arrived, and now it was already daybreak, but he had no scruples and continued hunting in the forest.
"Moo~"
A low bull mooing sound was heard, full of anger. Li Xiang ran forward a few steps and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a huge bison hitting trees in the forest.
"My goodness, this must weigh three or four thousand kilograms, right?"
The bison in the field of vision has muscles all over its body, showing its strong and fierce style. Its body is black, but its four legs are white, as if it is wearing white socks.
This is the Gaur, one of the largest living cattle in the world.
When the bison saw Li Xiang, its eyes immediately turned red, it dug the ground with its four hooves, lowered its horns, and rushed towards Li Xiang with a rumbling sound.
"Fuck, are you crazy? I haven't bothered you yet, and you come to attack me?" Li Xiang naturally would not dodge. He shook the black iron mountain-pulling stick in his hand and hit him on the head with it hard.
System: "Congratulations to the host for killing the 14th level violent bull demon king. You will be rewarded with 1400 achievement points, three 7th level mutant spiritual herbs, and a pair of 11th level extraordinary items, the Mandarin Duck Double-edged Swords."
Li Xiang: “…” Why do I feel that this elixir is a little bit unorthodox?
Take it back to make wine? He didn't dare to eat it casually.
Li Xiang felt that this bison must have eaten some estrus plant, or was in its breeding season, which was why it was so violent and attacked everyone it saw.
The extraordinary item dropped by such a violent Bull Demon King was actually a pair of exquisitely shaped double-edged swords, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with his style.
Li Xiang took out the pair of mandarin duck double-edged swords and used them for a while. The swords danced with cold light and falling petals. They were indeed good swords. The power of the two swords combined was estimated to be no weaker than that of the twelfth-level extraordinary spiritual weapon. They had two extraordinary attributes. One sword had "endurance", which allowed the holder to have the strength to fight for a longer period of time, and the other had "dizziness", which could make the opponent dizzy. At most, they could exert seven points of their full strength.
Of course, it cannot be compared with Luo Feifei's White Tiger Sword. Luo Feifei's sword is a fourteen-level extraordinary rapier with two extraordinary attributes: "luck" and "speed".
Li Xiang did not keep the body of the Bull Demon King. It weighed three to four thousand kilograms and was full of muscle. It was indeed top-quality beef. However, the bull had attacked him before and was very violent, with red eyes. Li Xiang was worried that it had mad cow disease.
"Forget it, don't take it. There are so many wild animals anyway, this one won't make a difference."
Perhaps out of a compensatory mentality, Li Xiang then hunted down several Indian white-lipped buffaloes and many spotted deer.
Spotted deer are very common in India and are widely distributed. They are not protected animals at all. This deer is somewhat similar to sika deer, but they are not the same species. They also look very delicious. Li Xiang would not let them go.
These spotted deer live in groups, often in groups of more than a hundred, and are the main prey of the Bengal tiger and Sri Lankan leopard.
Li Xiang killed hundreds of them and stored them in the system warehouse, which was considered good food.
“Roar~”
A tiger roar was heard, followed by the sound of fighting. Li Xiang ran over and saw a huge Bengal tiger fighting with an Indian bison.
Although the Indian bison was huge, weighing at least two thousand pounds, it was still no match for the Bengal tiger weighing only four or five hundred pounds.
Soon, the bison was knocked to the ground and the Bengal tiger devoured it.
Three minutes later, the Bengal tiger was knocked unconscious by Li Xiang with a stick and put into the system warehouse. Unfortunately, this Bengal tiger was only level nine and did not drop any extraordinary items.
Li Xiang pondered that either this Bengal tiger had limited potential and could not be promoted to a higher level, or it was killed by other monsters when it was at the ninth level and remained at the ninth level for the rest of its life.
Not every Bengal tiger has the potential to mutate, just like humans, and the achievements will vary because each tiger has different opportunities.
Some tigers have great potential in themselves, and then they may eat some high-level extraordinary spiritual herbs or natural treasures, so they soar into the sky and far surpass their peers.
Li Xiang was walking in the forest, covered in the Black Mountain Black Armor, which made him almost impervious to wind and rain, and he was not afraid of any snakes, insects, rats or ants.
"A twelfth-order mutant creature, the King Cobra, has been detected."
Following the system prompt, Li Xiang stopped. He listened briefly and then looked towards the jungle on the left.
The view was obscured by lush leaves and weeds. He gently pushed aside the view and walked over. Then, a huge poisonous snake came into view.
One third of the venomous snake's body stood up, its neck opened, revealing its sharp fangs, and its tongue moved in and out, making a loud hissing sound.
"It's huge, is this over the mountain?"
Li Xiang looked at the giant snake in admiration. It was at least five meters long, with a gray-brown belly, black edges on its dorsal scales, and light yellow rings on its body.
He knew that there were many snakes in India. It was said that the Indian government once offered a reward for killing cobras, but the higher the reward, the more cobras there were, and finally they became an infestation.
Of course, king cobra and cobra are not the same species. Cobra is relatively smaller, usually 1.2 to 2.5 meters, while king cobra can reach five or six meters in size and is more sturdy.
In terms of toxicity, neurotoxins and hematotoxins dominate the venom of cobras, while the venom of king cobras is more complex, containing neurotoxins, cardiotoxins and other ingredients. The most important thing is that the king cobra is large in size and discharges more venom at a time. Although cobras are also highly toxic, they are not as lethal as king cobras.
In addition, cobras mainly eat small mammals, birds and reptiles, while king cobras mainly eat other snakes, such as rat snakes, pythons of suitable size, and even venomous snakes (like cobras, kraits and other smaller counterparts). Some male king cobras will even eat female king cobras if their courtship fails, even if the female is pregnant.
It even eats its own kind, which is extremely cruel. Its Latin name translates to "snake eater". If food is scarce, the king cobra will also eat lizards, birds, mice and other animals to fill its stomach.
The big snake flew towards Li Xiang at an extremely fast speed, "whoosh". It made a humming sound, like a strong wind blowing through the mountains.
If it were any other human, they would probably not be able to escape or fight the king cobra and would be bitten to death by it.
But Li Xiang was not afraid at all. Even if he stood still, the venomous snake could not bite through his armor. Even if the whole body was wrapped around him, Li Xiang could break free with a slight struggle. It can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Naturally, he would not let the poisonous snake get close to him. He twisted the double-edged sword in his hand, and the poisonous snake's head fell to the ground immediately.
System: "Congratulations to the host for killing the twelfth-level mutant creature King Cobra. You will be rewarded with 1,200 achievement points, three sixth-level mutant spiritual fruits, and a pair of tenth-level extraordinary snakeskin soft boots."
